Just had SIRIUS installed, keeps going "no signal (rear dash antenna location, coupe)
I had him install it on my rear dash, he put it dead in the center of the dash. I do have tinted windows, but not metallic.
So I drive around town to test it out, and practically ever 20 seconds it goes to "no signal" for a couple seconds. Its not even listenable with how it keeps cutting out. I wanted it inside the car because the kids at my college are *******s and tend to mess with nicer cars.
What do you guys recommend?
Can somebody show me a picture of their antenna on their rear dash? Maybe the guy just put mine in a bad spot or something, I don't know really... He said he only did 1 before in that area, and it was on the Sedan and I guess they didn't have any problems.
At this point I'm regretting the whole satellite radio thing. The dealer installed it for free since it was part of the deal when I bought the car a couple weeks back, how much you think they'd charge if I came in now asking them to move the antenna?

How do I get to Playboy station? Mine only goes up to 184 then goes back to 0. Do I have to call SIRIUS to have them activate Playboy? If so does it cost extra?

No don't cancel it, but just have it reconfigured.
I've got the mini-antenna sitting directly on top of my trunk, towards the rear of the trunk lik where it breaks open. It's subtle enough that only G owners notice it. The reception is good about 80 to 90 % of the time. I don't have a pic or else I'd post it.
I have Sirius too and I love it. I hardly ever listen to terrestial radio now. I got it for Howard Stern but now I hardly llisten to him even though the show is sooo much better now. Raw Dog is great and so are a whole bunch of genre type stations. Go back and get it fixed right, I'll try to get a pic of my trunk lid later on this week to demonstrate. Good luck.
